I live in Rhode Island. We have several small state airports, but a local one is a small private rural field (08R) in the rural south of the state, where we have nice events such as EAA fly-ins etc's (I was the local EAA Chapter president for one term). There is little available hangar space but plenty of tie down. The geography in general is beautiful and a beautiful place to fly, all the way up to and past Cape Cod, lots of small airports. We also have great beaches, and for a state that is 37x40 miles, 400 miles of coast line. A lot of history as well. Not to mention Newport. Accommodations range from several hotel choices to numerous B&B opportunities, to camping even right on the field at the tree line. Clean bathroom available at all times, diners etc a few miles away. Visitors would need some transportation though. So, I thought I'd throw it out there. But I also wonder if the center of the country wouldnt be best? CP
